Japan Car Auction

Auction Bidding Terms & Conditions

Please read these terms carefully. You must scroll through the entire page and agree before your bid request can be submitted.

1. Security Deposit

  • Before bidding, a security deposit is required.
  • The security deposit will be given back if no bid has been won. If no bid has been won, the buyer should collect the security deposit within two weeks. If not, we will not return the security deposit back.
  • Withdrawal of the security deposit will take up to three business days.

2. Bidding Rules

  • The buyer must abide by and follow all the rules mentioned by our company.
  • You can bid as many times for FREE.
  • Bid requests cannot be changed or replaced during the bidding day.

3. Vehicle Condition & Liability

  • Although the auction sheet provides general information about the vehicle, we are not liable for anything that happens to the vehicle after a successful bid is placed, such as mechanical issues, scratches or dents on the exterior, interior quality, etc. We therefore recommend that you opt for our “JPN Inspection Service” to ensure complete satisfaction and assurance of the vehicle. Damages caused by the company will be compensated.
  • Don't be fooled by the auction pictures, please! The pictures are taken with a standard camera and shots that are taken extremely fast. Their angles are fixed, and ‘generally’ the auction posts only three pictures in total.
  • Please consider that vehicles bought are used vehicles and therefore, dirt and scratches will be present. Buyers' expectations of a clean, unscratched car should purchase vehicles with 0 kilometer on the odometer.
  • If JPN inspection is selected, you will receive a one-month warranty for the vehicle.

4. Cancellation

  • Once the car is bought, cancellation is possible on the spot within two hours, but not later, and the security deposit or the car will not be handed over to the buyer. The security deposit will be used to pay for the cancellation fee to the auction.
  • If any damage occurs by our side to the vehicle after a successful bid is placed, the buyer can cancel the transaction, and we will refund the security deposit, or we can come to an understanding and negotiate with the buyer for the damages that occurred.

5. Payment

  • Payment after a successful bid has to be completed within three business days. In case the purchaser fails to do so, the security deposit will not be refunded.
  • The buyer will have to bear the burden of bank transfer fees.
  • Bank transfer from the buyer should insert or have the following information: first and last name.

6. Ownership & Export

  • If the buyer does not opt for our “vehicle ownership transfer” service fee, the purchaser has to transfer the ownership of the vehicle within three weeks after a successful bid is placed. Failure to do so will result in a penalty. This only applies to clients based in Japan.
  • The license plate number will be canceled if the vehicle is being exported.
  • For export vehicles, after the full payment of the vehicle is received from the buyer and it has been shipped from the port, the documents and spare key will be delivered via DHL as soon as possible.
  • Vehicles exported to countries close to the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea can only be shipped via container. We apologize, but RoRo services are not available for this region ONLY (unless the law changes).
  • The buyer should be informed of their country's import rules and regulations. As the car leaves the port in Japan, any problems encountered at the destination port are not in our hands.
